Leaf art

For the home learning we had to use our creative thinking to design an animal made out of leafs. For this task i made a giraffe. I am so proud of it because i thought most people would try and find pictures of that animal made out of leaves but i stick to my mind and just did that is why i am so proud of it. I got really creative, so when i saw that the giraffes mouth open i thought i should put a tree there so it could look like its trying to eat. I am going to tell you 3 interesting facts about the beautiful creature.

1. Giraffes have the longest necks in the world.

2. Did you know that a group of giraffes are called a tower?

Then if the person says down then the person on top of the stakes of the hands has to got to the bottom of the stake of hands.but when the person who is calling out the signs says hammer it the person at the top of stake of hands has to try and hit the persons hands that is at the bottom of the person at the tops hand. Then we talked about who our role model is which i chose my mum because she has been there since day 1 she has cared for me and has done everything, and i am trying re pay her back for the money that she has lost to put a roof over heads to keep me from being cold and so on. Then we carried on playing another game named picture it. This game is when you have to get into a even group and there would be one person saying out words that you have to make out of your group.Like for an example if the person calling it out say car then everyone in your group has to try and use there bodies to make that thing. Then last we did another game named GKQ where there would be 2 even groups where the first people from each line has to stand up and answer a question, and who ever gets it wrong then the next person from the other line has to stand until all the people from one line has every line answered a question.
